A warm, old-style serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a calligraphy-informed stroke modulation. Curves are round and open, with a soft, organic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Terminals often finish with subtle teardrop or wedge-like shapes, and joins feel smoothly transitioned, giving the letterforms a slightly hand-touched texture. Uppercase proportions read sturdy and classical, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable footprint with clear counters and comfortable spacing.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm serif voice supports comfortable flow. It also works for heritage-leaning branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a classic, crafted tone, and for headlines or pull quotes where the calligraphic detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is familiar and bookish, with an approachable, human presence. It feels traditional and trustworthy, leaning toward literary and editorial voice rather than sleek modernity. The mild irregularity in stroke endings adds character without becoming decorative.
Designed to evoke a traditional text serif with humanist warmth—prioritizing readability and a natural rhythm while adding subtle, characterful terminals and serifs for personality. The intention appears to balance classic editorial credibility with a gentle, approachable texture.
The alphabet shows consistent serif treatment across straight and curved strokes, and the numerals share the same softly modeled, old-style sensibility. In text, the face maintains a steady color and an even rhythm, with enough detail in the serifs and terminals to remain distinctive at display sizes while still reading comfortably in paragraphs.
